## What they're looking for

- You’ve led product design at an ambitious, high-growth technology company, setting vision, building teams, and influencing company-level product direction
- You have exceptional taste and a portfolio of shipped, beautifully executed products, and you know how to bring others up to your bar
- You’ve hired and developed great designers, and you’ve raised the quality of a team you inherited, not just one you built from scratch
- You see design and product strategy as inseparable, you navigate ambiguity, find the right problems to solve, and influence founders, executives, and engineers
- You’ve designed sophisticated software, ideally B2B platforms, analytics, data visualization, or complex workflows, and know how to make powerful products feel simple
- You’re hands-on: equally comfortable presenting a long-term vision, coaching a designer through a hard problem, or jumping into Figma or code to prototype an idea yourself
